By using a paperclip as a temporary replacement for the screw in your glasses, you're overcoming the barrier of functional fixedness. This cognitive bias limits your ability to see an object beyond its traditional use. By repurposing the paperclip, you demonstrate flexibility in thinking and resourcefulness, allowing you to solve the problem creatively.

In a previous role, our team faced a significant delay in a project due to unexpected vendor issues. Instead of waiting for the vendor to resolve the problem, I proposed we leverage our in-house resources to create a temporary solution. I coordinated with different departments to repurpose existing materials and quickly develop a prototype, which not only kept us on schedule but also sparked innovative ideas for future projects. This experience reinforced the value of collaboration and creative problem-solving in overcoming challenges.
A temporary magnet.
A magnet made from a steel paperclip is most likely a(n) temporary magnet.
If you hold a nail or paperclip near a coil that has an electric current passing through it, the magnetic field generated by the coil may induce a temporary magnetic field in the nail or paperclip. This can cause the nail or paperclip to be attracted to the coil or even become magnetized themselves.
The temporary magnet becomes a magnet in a strong magnetic field, but its magnetic properties will disappear when that field is taken away. The ferromagnet and the permanent magnet are essentially the same thing. The electromagnet isn't that easy to make compared to the temporary magnet. Let's conduct an esperiment. If we take a bar magnet and pick up a paperclip with it, we can use the paperclip on the end of the magnet to pick up another paperclip. The second paperclip we are picking up only needs to touch the first paperclip; it does not have to touch the magnet itself. When the magnet is taken away, the paperclips no longer exhibit magnetic properties. They were acting as temporary magnets, and the simple and easy removal of the magnet cause them to lose their magnetism.

However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair

Paper clips are a temporary means of grouping together separate pieces of paper, allowing flexibility in adding, or removing, sheets without any damage to the group as a whole. Staples are a more permanent means of grouping separate papers, requiring replacement of the staple to add or remove sheets from the group.
